Eastbound Train Lyrics by Dire Straits

The Last Waltz

0

[Intro]
(Get it!)
[Verse 1]
It was at New Cross Station, I was going on home
Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own
Here come the train about-a 02:44
I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car
Yeah, the end of the line we both had to change
[Verse 2]
And you're standing right behind me, I'm a feeling kinda strange
We got to Mile End Road, my heart skipped a beat
Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat
Three, four minutes and the train comes through
I'm ridin' on the Central, I'm lookin' at you, yes, I am
[Hook]
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
[Verse 3]
Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book
You kept on taking me another look
You got off the train, you never looked behind
I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind
[Hook]
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
(Alright!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Well, I got one more thing I wanna say before I go
If you get the message on the radio
You can write a letter, get in touch with me
Leave your number with the company, yeah
[Outro]
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
